Time goes so fast! The first week here went so slow it seemed like, but week two went so fast! Its already Tuesday of week three. So many great things have been happening. God is so amazing and I'm being blown away by the things he's been revealing to me. Its so great!
So last week during classes we were learning about our Identities in Christ. We had Paster Steve Shank as our speaker. He was really interesting and a bit boring at times. Let's just say it was very easy to fall asleep in class, haha.
To be honest, I don't remember to much about last week, haha. It went by so fast. But there are a couple things that stuck out that I'll tell you about.
On Thursday afternoons we have local outreach. Last week was our first week actually doing it. So the group I'm in for that went to a nursing home, old people! I found it really difficult because I don't speak spanish, so I could't really do much. I was with my friend Lukas, he speaks spanish, so most of the time I just sat there, haha. BUT, then we found this man who spoke some english, he had lived in California back in the early 60's! So I got to talk to him and pray for him. I was very encouraged by this. I felt like I was actually doing something, haha.
On saturday, more then half the DTS went on this tour, they went zip-lining and waterfall repelling. I wasn't able to go because I can't access any of my money here at the moment. (Stupid ATM's) So I stayed behind with some of the others and I took over weekend work duties for one of my friends who went on the tour.
So weekend work duties is, when you have to make breakfast and dinner, and clean the bathrooms, Saturday and Sunday. So I wan't really looking forward to it.. but it turned out to be really fun! I really enjoyed helping make the meals and the people that I worked with were awesome and made it so much more enjoyable! Haha. I also really enjoyed serving everyone their meals, it was nice to see everyone and say HI, and just chit chat. Was fun!
This week so far has been good! Super good! Our speaker this week is really good, REALLY GOOD! The topic is 'Characteristics Of God'. Its been so good! I haven't fallen asleep in class YET, and we have had 3 classes already. Its been really interesting and we're using our bibles a lot, WOOOTWOOT! So you have to stay focus or you get lost really easily. But yeah, its been super, super good. And I wish I could tell you all about it, but it's just so hard to explain.. I think I would just confuse you. Haha. Ask me about it in person. Okay?
Anyways. I'm not sure what else to say. OH! This past weekend was so WARM! Oh man, I got so tan! Haha. It was so great. Hehe. Sorry family! I also went downtown again and did some more mini shopping with two of my new friends, Laura and Becky! It was fun, we went thrifting and to a little tourist market thing. Was fun.
Hope all is well back home!
Maybe soon I'll start missing it.. Haha
Much love,
Hannah
